Didn’t stop my brother from buying his wife a 5060ti build for sketchup. I suggested he give her his 4070ti and use a 9070xt instead because why buy a garbage card and… nope… nvidia only. I literally said “You could go with amd and just give her the 4070ti” and he literally replied with “fuck no U_U”
Eventually nvidia will make mistakes and probably end up like intel on the consumer side, but I have a coworker I just helped with a build who refused to even consider AMD even after the intel catastrophe, she’s too much of a brand loyalist (not at all a gamer, IT infrastructure worker.)
People have shit on AMD for so long and to be fair for a while AMD really was behind, but it feels like the script has flipped and the people in my circles haven’t realized it. I know the overall consumer market has been going towards amd processors but I just don’t see AMD winning on the graphics front.
Guessing we’ll see AMD keep nvidia grounded on gpu prices to an extent though since AMD doesn’t really have much market share in the AI/ML space but they’ll certainly allow for more price inflation since it inflates their margin.
I agree.
